The Rodgers pal also confessed that the athlete’s family and close friends assumed the 29-year-old actress ‘was just a rebound’ and they weren’t that ‘serious.’

Although his season came to an end last month, Rodgers spent the past few months staying ‘very focused on his season’ with the Green Bay Packers.
Unfortunately, Rodgers and his team missed their chance at the Super Bowl after losing to Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on January 24th.
Despite the distance, Shailene and Aaron ‘have seen each other and been in touch,’ the source revealed.
‘They continue to talk and see each other when they can. They are both focused on their careers but they also make time for each other.’
Prior to Rodgers, Woodley was romantically linked to Fijian rugby player Ben Volavola from 2017 until their split in 2019.
Last spring, the Divergent actress revealed to the New York Times that she was ‘very much single’ and had ‘chosen to be single for a while’ before jumping back into the dating game.

Speaking candidly about her breakup with Volavola, Woodley explained to Bustle that, although they were ‘very much on the road to marriage and children,’ she just was not ready for that commitment.
‘I realized I was still at an age where I wasn’t able to fully commit. I couldn’t be available to him in the way that I wanted to be. I didn’t fully love myself,’ she concluded.
As for Aaron, he famously ended his relationship with former professional racing driver Danica Patrick in July of 2020.
In a statement to Page Six, Rodgers confirmed that he and Patrick were ‘no longer together.’
In the midst of their breakup, Patrick went on Instagram and posted a slew of cryptic relationship-oriented quotes, including one by relationship coach Connor Beaton that read: ‘The pain that we are given is the pain that we pass on.’
Aaron also famously dated actress Olivia Munn from 2014 until their ‘amicable’ split in 2017.

In an interview with ESPN Magazine in August of 2017, Rodgers opened up about ending things with the Newsroom star, remarking that ‘living out a relationship in the public eye, it’s definitely … it’s difficult.’
‘It has some extra constraints, because you have other opinions about your relationship, how it affects your work and, you know, just some inappropriate connections,’ he explained.
Since ending her relationship with Volavola and trying things out with Rodgers, Woodley has been a lot more candid about her private life, including the topic of sex.
In an Ask Her column for men’s website Leo one person inquired: ‘If the sex is not great but the relationship is thriving, do you call it quits or work on it?’
The stunner admitted that she has had bad sex ‘more than once’ in her life, but that ‘bad sex is simply two people who haven’t quite found the language that speaks to their unique lives together yet.’
She continued: ‘And although you occasionally and very rarely do meet someone whom you spontaneously sexually combust with – most of the time, sex is a lesson in true intimacy.’
